Treatment Bag is a growing movement dedicated to helping cancer patients in the UK.
The charity hands out indulgent bags filled with gifts which are carefully selected as antidotes to the side-effects of cancer treatments.
Treatment Bag gives over 180 free, customised bags every month to 12 NHS hospitals in London, the South and the North of England.

Our Northern Vision
Staff from St James' Hospital, Leeds
After discovering Treatment Bag's work in London and the South of England, a supporter asked a simple question:
Could I bring this kindness to people with cancer in the North of England?
Now, with the help of this Yorkshire-based superfan, our first partnerships have launched at 2 hospitals: St James’s Hospital (Leeds) and Pinderfields Hospital (Wakefield).
Local people are also involved, from knitters to Birthday Bag supporters and local businesses keen to make a difference.
"An ideal gift for any cancer patient..."
"Having looked tirelessly for a gift for our very special sister-in-law who has just started her chemo, I came across your 'bag' - what a wonderful gift you have created... we wanted to choose something for her that not only she would enjoy, but that her body would benefit from during this gruelling time.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
